Temporal Change in Parasternal Thickening Fraction as a Predictor for Weaning

Cairo University (CU)

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Weaning Failure; Mechanical Ventilation; Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

Treatments: Device: Parasternal intercostal thickening

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT07083128

Temporal change in PIC

Details and patient eligibility

About

optimal time to liberate from mechanical ventilation is highly prioritized since improper extubation time lead to serious consequences

Full description

Several parameters were proposed to assess proper weaning time including diaphragmatic ultrasound and extra-diaghragmatic muscles. previous research concluded an ability of parasternal intercostal (PIC) thickening to predict weaning outcomes. researchers of current study assumed that temporal changes in PIC thickening would provide greater ability to predict weaning outcomes
